NEW ROMAN SONG: “Evocati’s Pledge” ruclips.net/video/munrj4ZbAns/видео.html Music composed by Farya Faraji. Gaius Julius Caesar needs no introduction-I was inspired to write a symphonic piece in movements about his early life and his rise to dictatorship of the dying Roman Republic. The point of this one was to get a modern symphonic format whilst emulating the music of Ancient Rome itself, and I incorporated instruments such as the lyres and the aulos, as well as their modes and scales, and Latin lyrics, while also using modern compositional techniques like chords, counterpoint, and musical trumpets, although trumpets did exist in the period though not strictly as musical instruments. Lyrics: Sumus tertiadecumani legio gemina, Sequimur aquilas quocumque nos ducunt, A barbara Galliae silva, Ad Galliam caliginem, Milites Caesaris procedite! Sumus sextus legio ferrata… (We are the Thirteenth, Twinned Legion, We follow the Eagle wherever it leads us, From the forests of barbarous Gaul, To Gaul’s misty hills, Soldiers of Caesar, forward! We are the Sixth, Ironclad Legion…) Gallias Caesar subegit, Gallos Caesar in triumphum ducit! (Caesar has defeated the Gauls, Caesar leads the Gauls in triumph!) Aut Caesar aut nihil, Hic abundant leones, Hic sunt leones, Alea iacta est! (Caesar or nothing, Here the lions abound, Here are lions, The die is cast!) Senatus Populusque Romanus! (The Senate and people of Rome!) 00:00 Youth 03:50 An insignificant governor 07:20 The statue 08:00 Rise 11:00 De Bello Gallico 14:40 Rubicon 18:17 Civil War 23:20 Dictator Perpetuo
*The die is cast. As in the singular of dice. "Welp, I've rolled the dice" in more casual contemporary English. He's crossed the point of no return now, either his coup succeeds, or he's defeated and executed as a traitor.
"Gaius Julius Caesar needs to introduction..." Neither will Farya Faraji one day! This was really unique and nice to give it chapters corresponding with stages of his life/career. Bravo and thanks for sharing!
It's powerful and beautiful but I think there's a grammar mistake. He sings "Svmvs sextvs legio ferrata" but the correct one is "Svmvs sexta legio ferrata"
17:35 to 18:14 brought tears to my eyes. The Lions and the Senātus Populusque Rōmānus going back and forth in the struggle for power, until the decision is made to cross the Rubicon, and “The die is cast.” Absolutely incredible moment in history and this music. Roma Invicta.
I loved the dueling between “Hymn of the Legion” and “S.P.Q.R.” Especially during the Rubicon section with the conflict within to the Republic or to Caesar and his ambitions!
The Civil War part is just so brilliant. It combines the S.P.Q.R song with Hymn of the Legion, and I think it's kind of poetic to mix two songs with different intent respectively and named it 'The Civil War.'
I cannot stress enough how much I love the "Civil War" part! The clash between "the Hymn of the Legion" and "SPQR" is just brilliant! Especially at the end where SPQR is silent and calm while the Hymn of the Legion is loud and pompous (as if it's just after Pharsalus). Really gives that "Either Caesar or nothing!" feeling!
Absolutely astounding! Imagine being Caesar in the 1st century B.C not knowing that more than 2000 years from now his life will be chronicled in symphony by one of the most talented composers currently on RUclips... it truly takes my breath away just imagining it. Amazing job as always Farya!
Caesar become one of those kind of men that their name has archive to survive the rust of time. Just like Alexander Magno or Leonidas and a lot of other warriors of other differents cultures like Lu Bu.
If Caesar knew that in more than 2000 years his life would be chronicled in symphony by one of the most talented composers currently on RUclips his first reaction wouldn´t be happiness or proudness,but words ,,What the hell is RUclips?!"
Truly resplendant of Rome and the final dictator of the Republic. Were I to visit Rome one day, many of your compositions will be on my playlist for touring the ancient city. Superb work as usual my friend!
@@MedjayofFaiyum He'd probably be thinking "how am I supposed to enjoy this music without people in silly costumes acting out Julius Caesar's life in front of me? This isn't right!"
The 'Insignificant Governor' movement of this incredible symphony reminds me of countless hours spent on the campaign map in Rome Total War, and the ambient music that played. I've been listening to your tracks since "Sons of Mars"; keep up the wonderful work! Alea iacta est!
It is a tragedy that this has sat in my recommended tab for months and I only just listened to this magnificent composition yesterday. Utterly fantastic
Caesar, the conqueror of Gaul, Imperator, the last dictator. These titles were truly earned by this man for actions of doing his duty to the republic. He went form being a nobody to being the master Rome needed. He had the love of the people because he was the embodiment of their ancient beliefs. Although Caesar wasn’t able to finish what he started, Octavian surely made sure to see his legacy through and transform the republic into a stable empire. No matter what people said Caesar’s legacy lives on.
Caesar was an opportunist and populist in order to gain personal power, not unlikely any other politician 2000 years ago or now. One person having unlimited power as Caesar strived to following the path Sulla blazed was actually quite opposite of Rome's traditional beliefs and norms. He was also a brilliant strategist and great man of course, but no need to glorify a version of him that wasn't real.
I mean this in the most whole hearted and least creepy way but I fucking love you man. Your music brings ancient culture to life and as someone who’s spent the majority of their life studying that stuff, I appreciate this
This is a masterpiece.🎶I'm listening and I'm crying , because it touches my soul. Maybe Gaius Julius Caesar lived thousands of years ago, but because of your music, it feels like it just happens at the very moment. And maybe he was murdered, but Gaius Julius Caesar shall never die.🐺🏛🦁
@@ShahanshahShahin I have listened to "Alexander" and other music by Farya Faraji. But, for me personally, I like this symphony the best. But anyway, thanks for the recommendation.
The vocals in the "Rubicon" section, aptly bring out the clash between the two major factions, during the dying days of the Republic; with the vocals symbolizing the Populares eventually winning out... Ave Caesar !!!
The Populares are less vocal, silent even, in the beginning; with the Optimates drowning them out. But as Caesar grows, so do the Populares' vocals, until the Civil War (Round-2) breaks out
@@faryafaraji thank you for confirming Love your music, especially Byzantine and Persian themed ones Greetings and well wishes from an avid listener from India
I always found ancient Roman history and culture interesting, but it got even better with this symphony, it's really nice to listen to these symphonies while reading articles.
The thing I absolutely adore apart from just the outstanding quality of music you put out is the continuity between them and the personality of the identities you create for the cultures you portray. I heard other Roman pieces here in the melodies, some Eastern Roman from Fall of Constantinople, and briefly bits from Alexander's symphony. The inheriting of practices and musical traditions (though at least partly conjectural on your part), is so beautifully executed. So very much worth the wait for this symphonic piece). Doroud!
Addendum: the inclusion of Alexander's Son of Ra, easily one of the best parts. Effortlessly blends into the rest and instantly recognisable. I'm telling you, you fucking nailed the whole identity through leitmotif thing.
Great as always! I sure do love those longer pieces you've made, Cantiga, The Fall of Constantinople and now Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar are probably my favourite among all your music! Carry on Farya!
Hearing this music, I was wondering how these great emperors are made of . These people are one of a kind. How come a human being could possibly become so powerful that their single word can be impacted to the whole world. What’s the secret behind their legacy. ❤
@@GAIUSIULIUSCAESARAV1 Nescis verum Caesar, fili mi. Recte rego, cum periculum sit Romae gloriose, tum ut vero Romano viro et imperatori dura manu regam. Ridiculum est et indecens Romani mores. Expellemini de civitate gloriosa.
Wow just found this jewel of a channel... Oh my god I really wish this wonderful artist gets the rewards he deserve for this amazing work. All contribute and donate to him if it's possible for you
Hail Caesar indeed! This is like Christmas morning! I am SO EXCITED to have this on replay all month! Your Roman music is OFF the CHARTS and this is going to be so so EPIC! Thank you for this most amazing treat. Soon, very soon, you will need no introduction as well, my friend. As a fellow Canadian, I am proud that you belong to our soil. XD!
I Love all your Compositions Farya, listening to them has just become part of my routine, Keep making more! Please make a similar Composition About Augustus Soon.
Discovering Thomas Bergeson, the musicians HDSounDI introduced and Farya Faraji made me realize that the great, super-high profile classical musicians didn't die in the 1800s, they just evolved into humble, normal-looking millennials/gen Xs you don't even notice at first when you're walking in the street... ...until you discover what they're capable of, once they can get behind a screen. Fucking hell.
The low choir, light cymbals and processional melody two minutes into this opus is very fitting for Caesar as high priest (Pontifex Maximus) of Rome in his time.
@@faryafaraji "Alexander" is always one of my favorites from you, so that theme is iconic. Hearing the themes of Alexander and subsequentially Rome in other songs, sounds like to me the immortal memories of these legends, echoing through time.
The touch is beautiul it is feels like classical greeko roman pagan era before the constaine virus destory this beauty... before the byzentine eastern music take over the land..
Fantastic composition Farya. Truly amazing. Especially the back and forth between "S.P.Q.R." and "Hymn of the Legion" (which are excellent in their own right) and how it builds up slowly only towards "alea iacta est". I listen to it and I can see Caesar and Pompey magnus preparing and clashing. Κύδος!
My man, you did it again! This might even be better than Alexander's symphony, but that also could just be my taste. Interesting how at Dictator Perpetuo I expected even more glorious trumpets, but you used the same theme as for the last part of Roma, makes sense, after all, it is the fall of the Republic. With this you pretty much made all other "one hour of epic roman music" videos obsolete, here its half an hour of actually epic very roman music. 11/10 It would be undeniably hilarious if there was a part which used the real "lyrics" of Ceasar's triumphal march, triumphal marches at the time were filled with jokes and profanities. I remember it being something like "we wasted all of your money in Gaul and are coming back to take more! Hide your wives, hide your kids, the bald man [Caesar] is back in Rome!" Edit: "The Statue" part is a reference to Alexander the Great? Edit 2: Rome theme (same part as inThe Fall of Constantinopole) in the Youth and Governor part because of course it is, this might be my favourite version of it so far Edit 3: A part of "Civil Wars" appears very similar to "Son of Ra" from Alexander, is that a reference to Caesar in Egypt?
Yep you’ve got all the references! I believe the Alexander statue story was one of the most important turning points in Caesar’s life-it’s also poetic that Caesar as we know him was born the same age Alexander died. The Son of Ra leitmotif is basically my “Egypt” leitmotif as you said, and as for the epic trumpets, I’m saving them for Part 2 of this story: the Augustus symphony. I didn’t want to give too much of a conclusive climax feel to this one since it’s only the first part ;p
@@Taizongdoingexercise I don’t have one Iranian leitmotif, I divide leitmotifs based on the dynasties, Achaemenid, Arsacid, Sasanian, etc. In the case of these flute phrases, they’re not a leitmotif, it’s just a basic melodic phrase you find in most Iranian music, and it happens to use the flute in both cases :p
I've been listening to this soooo many times! Its perfect! You even inspired me to buy a book about Caesar's life! Keep it up! You are a musical genius! This is real music, so far removed from that crap on the radio! KEEP IT UPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hello fellow struggler. In today's day and age, we all have our own battles to fight, but i want you to know 3 things that just might change your life. The first and arguably most important is that God loves you, and you are not alone. The second is that you should never lose your ambition. And the third is to always love yourself in all your imperfections, but strive to be perfect, as he is
Farya we really love your work! Every piece in your channel has such a nostalgia about the past...you are dedicated to your work and that's magnificent! Thank you for all!
@@faryafaraji There is a possibility too I think yes, maybe both cultures are share some common tradition to each other but also it is Dried meat its part of the western culture too
@@sassenspeyghel4155omg I did a typo! I meant a triumphal procession! But if we’re talking triumvirates, as much as the Julius, Crassus, Pompey gets a lot of attention my favorite is the second triumvirate with Octavian, Lepidus, Antony I think the dynamics between the generals and their shared histories, especially with Julius is ripe for writing historical fiction. Now if we’re talking triumphal parades, I think the coolest one to see would be Scipio Africanus’ triumph after his defeat of Hannibal.
19:24 reminded me a lot of a melody segment from attack on titan, it’s so beautiful the way it enriches the atmosphere with something “Great and powerful” in motion, the sense of history. Thank you man for this stunning symphony
I have to say, that your music resonate with me at a really personal level. I am not a musician, but i imagine (and write about) this other world, which is not our ancient history in a literal sense, but more mythopoetic one. And in that world this music is actual historical music. Your music helps me to get there, it guides me, and i am forever thankful for that. I know we never met, yet i consider you my brother, who somehow, in his own way, knows this world too.
big fan , i love it , i need more time to explore all your pieces but i want to thank you for the musical angle that you give your Roman pieces , the usage of specific instruments and musical arrangement are flawless , i never find myself asking if something you used could have actually been played during that particular era or if the specific motif you gave it was a derivative , i love how you have reference the 13th legion in your hymn of the legions without actually specifying it's the 13th by just simply saying "hic sunt leones" ! trully in awe , thank you for all you do !

Discovering Thomas Bergeson, the musicians HDSounDI introduced and Farya Faraji made me realize that the great, super-high profile classical musicians didn't die in the 1800s, they just evolved into humble, normal-looking millennials/gen Xs you don't even notice at first when you're walking in the street...
...until you discover what they're capable of, once they can get behind a screen. Fucking hell.
The low choir, light cymbals and processional melody two minutes into this opus is very fitting for Caesar as high priest (Pontifex Maximus) of Rome in his time.
Wonderful as always! Keep it going :D
Yes, the greatest Roman. You my friend have earned a legions worth of subs from me.
Ave Caesar! The greatest roman general.
Absolute chills at the reoccurring leitmotif returning yet again, in 7:20. We can only wonder who this statue is ; )
Haha good ear, I’m glad some people notice!
@@faryafaraji "Alexander" is always one of my favorites from you, so that theme is iconic. Hearing the themes of Alexander and subsequentially Rome in other songs, sounds like to me the immortal memories of these legends, echoing through time.
Thanks for this great masterpiece I love all your songs. Greetings from Turkey
I've never heard something like that before ! I can't stop listening to all your musics, great work this time as always !
The touch is beautiul it is feels like classical greeko roman pagan era before the constaine virus destory this beauty... before the byzentine eastern music take over the land..
i swear i would buy the ''rise'' part of the video if it would ever come to be a single
Fantastic composition Farya. Truly amazing. Especially the back and forth between "S.P.Q.R." and "Hymn of the Legion" (which are excellent in their own right) and how it builds up slowly only towards "alea iacta est". I listen to it and I can see Caesar and Pompey magnus preparing and clashing. Κύδος!
My man, you did it again! This might even be better than Alexander's symphony, but that also could just be my taste. Interesting how at Dictator Perpetuo I expected even more glorious trumpets, but you used the same theme as for the last part of Roma, makes sense, after all, it is the fall of the Republic.
With this you pretty much made all other "one hour of epic roman music" videos obsolete, here its half an hour of actually epic very roman music. 11/10
It would be undeniably hilarious if there was a part which used the real "lyrics" of Ceasar's triumphal march, triumphal marches at the time were filled with jokes and profanities. I remember it being something like "we wasted all of your money in Gaul and are coming back to take more! Hide your wives, hide your kids, the bald man [Caesar] is back in Rome!"
Edit: "The Statue" part is a reference to Alexander the Great?
Edit 2: Rome theme (same part as inThe Fall of Constantinopole) in the Youth and Governor part because of course it is, this might be my favourite version of it so far
Edit 3: A part of "Civil Wars" appears very similar to "Son of Ra" from Alexander, is that a reference to Caesar in Egypt?
@@Taizongdoingexercise Yes.
Yep you’ve got all the references! I believe the Alexander statue story was one of the most important turning points in Caesar’s life-it’s also poetic that Caesar as we know him was born the same age Alexander died. The Son of Ra leitmotif is basically my “Egypt” leitmotif as you said, and as for the epic trumpets, I’m saving them for Part 2 of this story: the Augustus symphony. I didn’t want to give too much of a conclusive climax feel to this one since it’s only the first part ;p
@@faryafaraji Epic, so Augustus is coming. -After that, maybe the long-awaited Justinian and Theodora symphony will come-
@@Taizongdoingexercise I don’t have one Iranian leitmotif, I divide leitmotifs based on the dynasties, Achaemenid, Arsacid, Sasanian, etc. In the case of these flute phrases, they’re not a leitmotif, it’s just a basic melodic phrase you find in most Iranian music, and it happens to use the flute in both cases :p
@@faryafaraji wait, wasn't Alexander here in 300bc and caesar 50bc?
Love all the music you’re creating, it fill the niche I’ve been looking in ancient cultural music!
Came here for my daily reflection on the Roman Empire. 💯
I've been listening to this soooo many times! Its perfect! You even inspired me to buy a book about Caesar's life! Keep it up! You are a musical genius! This is real music, so far removed from that crap on the radio! KEEP IT UPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent work Farya Faraji, we want more roman music for you.
This has become my working soundtrack. Every day for the whole working day this masterpiece is being played on repeat
The majesty and vigor of this piece, makes me think you could treat us with a symphony of another mighty old Roman soldier, Aurelian the Restorer :)
Feels me like a badass monarch. I will use it when i will play strategy games
Ave Farya! Splendida composizione nello spirito dell'antica Roma!
Amazing symphony Farya, as usual you did a great job 👏
Augustus? What are you doing here?
Wow I'm blown away yet again! this has got to be one of my favorite pieces of yours!
hello fellow struggler. In today's day and age, we all have our own battles to fight, but i want you to know 3 things that just might change your life. The first and arguably most important is that God loves you, and you are not alone. The second is that you should never lose your ambition. And the third is to always love yourself in all your imperfections, but strive to be perfect, as he is
Wonderful. I don't have words to say how amazing your work is.
Been binge watching these videos. Am ready to follow Caesar to reconquer Gaul!
Romano popolus won't never forget the empire that thrived in their names we are here still
What a wonderful music!!
I just discovered this channel, your music is incredible; it brings me to ancient times. Keep up the great work! ✋🏻Roma Invicta 🦅
Roma aeterna victrix!
This has easily become one of my favourite symphonies from Farya! Great work!
Farya we really love your work! Every piece in your channel has such a nostalgia about the past...you are dedicated to your work and that's magnificent! Thank you for all!
AMAZING. It is great to know we haven't lost great composers, like we have lost so much in other avenues of skill
Beautifully and powerfully composed. Thank you!
The form is like the video " Roma " and it's splendid. Also, the fact that my city bears the name of Iulius Caesar appeals to me. Caesaria in Turkey.
I’ve been to Kayseri, the pastırma is amazing :p
@@faryafaraji Made by the rome copied by the ottomans :P
@@midnightblue3285 There’s different theories as to the origin of pastırma but a native Central Asiatic origin is very likey too
@@faryafaraji There is a possibility too I think yes, maybe both cultures are share some common tradition to each other but also it is Dried meat its part of the western culture too
What vídeo are you refering to?
Well done Farya - You're so talented. This helped me through studying for a criminal law exam.
I can only dream of being anywhere near this creative at music as much as you are. Brb going to cry in bed now
Amazing symphony! By the way I really enjoyed your interview with Luke Ranieri.
This song makes me want to travel back in time and see a Roman triumvirate.
@@sassenspeyghel4155omg I did a typo! I meant a triumphal procession! But if we’re talking triumvirates, as much as the Julius, Crassus, Pompey gets a lot of attention my favorite is the second triumvirate with Octavian, Lepidus, Antony I think the dynamics between the generals and their shared histories, especially with Julius is ripe for writing historical fiction. Now if we’re talking triumphal parades, I think the coolest one to see would be Scipio Africanus’ triumph after his defeat of Hannibal.
Damn that transition from the statue to rise...wow!
19:24 reminded me a lot of a melody segment from attack on titan, it’s so beautiful the way it enriches the atmosphere with something “Great and powerful” in motion, the sense of history. Thank you man for this stunning symphony
I love the Certain melody in Roman music
The greatest Roman to ever live
Better then ''modern'' music imo, truly wonderful!
I have to say, that your music resonate with me at a really personal level. I am not a musician, but i imagine (and write about) this other world, which is not our ancient history in a literal sense, but more mythopoetic one. And in that world this music is actual historical music. Your music helps me to get there, it guides me, and i am forever thankful for that. I know we never met, yet i consider you my brother, who somehow, in his own way, knows this world too.
big fan , i love it , i need more time to explore all your pieces but i want to thank you for the musical angle that you give your Roman pieces , the usage of specific instruments and musical arrangement are flawless , i never find myself asking if something you used could have actually been played during that particular era or if the specific motif you gave it was a derivative , i love how you have reference the 13th legion in your hymn of the legions without actually specifying it's the 13th by just simply saying "hic sunt leones" ! trully in awe , thank you for all you do !
could imagine this being a soundtrack for a Rome II: Total war vid about the rise and fall of Caesar
